Most projects take 4–6 weeks from our first conversation to launch. That includes discovery, design, development, revisions, and a training handoff so you're comfortable managing your site. Larger or more complex builds may take longer — I'll give you a clear timeline before we start.

Those platforms work for simple hobby sites, but they come with real limitations once your business grows. Your site runs on shared infrastructure you don't control, performance hits a ceiling you can't raise, and when you need custom functionality, you're stuck within their walls.

I build on AWS — the same cloud infrastructure used by Netflix, Airbnb, and thousands of enterprise companies. That means your site gets dedicated resources, real scalability, enterprise-grade security, global content delivery, and near-perfect uptime. You're not renting space on someone else's platform — you own your infrastructure and can grow it as far as your business needs to go.

Yes. I create a dedicated AWS account in your name and add myself as an admin during the build. Once the project is complete, everything belongs to you — the code, the content, the infrastructure, the domain. You take on the hosting costs associated with your build directly. If you sign up for a care plan, I manage the site, hosting, and technical upkeep on your behalf. But the account and assets are always yours.

Website builds are split 50/50 — half due before work begins, half due at launch. Every project starts with a signed contract and statement of work so the scope, timeline, and deliverables are clear to both sides before any money changes hands.

No. Care plans are month-to-month. You can cancel anytime — no long-term contracts, no cancellation fees. I'd rather earn your business every month than lock you into something you don't want.

If you're on a care plan, changes are covered within your monthly support hours. If you're not on a care plan, you can use the Pay-As-You-Go option at $150/hr for one-time updates or fixes. Either way, you're never stuck without a path forward.

Both work. I have a designer I collaborate with on projects where custom design is part of the scope. Other times, I handle the design myself — especially for clean, straightforward layouts where the priority is clarity and performance over heavy visual design. If you already have a designer or brand guidelines, I'm happy to build from their files. We'll figure out the right approach during discovery based on what your project needs.

When you work with me, you get one person who builds your site, understands your infrastructure, and picks up the phone when something breaks. There's no account manager relaying messages to a developer you've never met. I own it end-to-end — which means faster communication, fewer misunderstandings, and someone who actually knows your system inside and out.

You tell me about your business, your goals, and what you need from your website. I ask questions, recommend an approach (static or WordPress), and follow up with a written scope and quote. No pressure, no commitments — just a clear picture of what the project would look like.
